Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Your take on FSV's quarterly results? I've been considering increasing my holdings in this company (2.5% now) because it's been far less volatile than the market of late, a steady grower. But I'm worried it's expensive already. On that subject, I keep hearing these guys on BNN talking about this or that stock, like Enbridge, like Parkland Fuels, Constellation Software and Methanex as being too pricey, above their normal P/E ratio, and due for a pullback, and they advise not to buy. PE doesn't seem to bother you much. It seems to be your position that if a company is good you don't really care if the stock is over-priced because even if it falls 10%-20% it will recover that in a year or two and then surpass the current price. Do I have that right?
